Rails Pub Nite # 12 March 19, 2007

Pub Nite #12: Getting Warmer
We keep getting bigger; the last few events have had well over 30 people!
Soon we'll start issuing branded Mastercards.
* Rails 1.2.3 is released; has a cool ring to it.
* RailsConf triples in size, then sells out in a week. See you in Portland!
* Hampton adds Rails speaking gigs at Ubuntu Live in Portland and the
mySQL Conference in Santa Clara, bring his total to 4 conferences in 5
months. Sheesh!
* Cross pollination from RPN brings new members from TransitCamp, GTA Bloggers.
* Kibbles Software kickstarts Rails mentorship program.
* Still folks contacting meregularly about hiring Rails developers. I
tell them to join TorRor and come to Rails Pub Nite. See someone new?
They might want to hire you.
The Rails Pub Nite #13 will be Monday, April 16th! It will also be lucky.
At this point there is a core group of about twenty^H^H^H^H^H^Hthirty
folks that come out regularly; we expect about twenty heads per
outing. The Rhino affectionately refers to us as "their nerds".
Hillary takes great care of us; please tip her well.
We often receive emails from people that wonder if they know enough
about Rails to come. The answer is that if you know what Rails is, you
should come. At the very least, we can answer your questions and get
you even more excited.
Unspace wants to support the growing Rails community here. We feel the
best opportunity for advocacy is an event where people can make
friends and have fun in an informal setting.
We welcome people who are working with other, similar technologies. If
you are open minded and like to discuss how we can all create better
sites, come share a pint.
